Perfect Casting, part 2

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

Harry Dresden - Jim Parsons


*dives behind cover*

no i could not respect any harry that i could reasonably expect to take in a fight

There's another site casting TDF...not sure if it's been mention on here yet, but I'm not going through all 200 plus pages to find out.. lol

I'm one of the few that thinks Harry should be played by Blackthorne on the big screen.  I know the t.v. show is pretty much separate from the books and any film that could be made, but still, to me, Blackthorne IS Harry.    Probably because I watched the tv series before reading any of the books, but that's who I imagine while reading, so anyone else would be a huge let down for me....

Oh, I definitely want Blackthorne as Harry!
Parsons is skinny and tall, so not a bad choice.

I also saw the TV show before reading the books, but I still don't think Blackthorne looks like Harry. Basically no one on that show was anything like the book descriptions.


On a different note, I see DB Woodside as Sanja:



And young Rose McGowan as Molly:

[Tim2.0]

ok wow the rose mcgowan is perfect for molly.. now time

I posted a pretty much full casting list about...17 pages back, but didn't provide any pictures.  Here goes, then for the main male characters (I'm still going back and forth on the Senior Council, so they're absent from this list):

Harry: Zachary Levi (for early 30s Harry)


Thomas: Matt Bomer


Morgan: Stephen Lang


Michael: Tom Selleck or Liam Neeson


Marcone: Edward Norton


Nicodemus: Robert Knepper (I'm drawing a blank on how old Nic is supposed to look)


Sanya: Mykel Shannon Jenkins


Fr. Forthill: Ron Rifkin


Mort: David H. Lawrence III


Butters: Breckin Meyer


Kincaid: Christian Slater

[NeuroHeart]

Butters: Breckin Meyer

He is sooooo not geeky looking enough to be Butters.

David Krumholtz is my Butters:



I have so many photos I could flood with for so many characters, but I won't right now. I have realized, however, that there are a great many female characters with white hair. It's a little odd.

[habu987]

And for females:

Murphy: Renee O'Connor (borrowing the picture from earlier in the thread)


Lea: Kate Beckinsale or Famke Janssen


Mab: Sophie Marceau or Bridget Moynahan


Molly: Amber Heard


Lara: Yvonne Strahovski (I might have a teeny tiny crush on her...*cough, cough*)


Charity: Elisabeth Rohm


Gard: Tricia Helfer


Lasciel/Lash: Kristen Bell or Elizabeth Banks (KB is my preference)


Elaine: Lake Bell or Sarah Wayne Callies


Luccio, post Dead Beat: Lauren Cohan


Georgia: Amy Acker


Maeve: Amanda Crew


Lily: Hayden Panettiere

[Bango Shank]

Was watching TV and stumbled upon this. Thought I'd throw it up for the masses:

Erika Christensen as Murphy:

Not a terrible choice, but I'd still say Miss O'Connor is a better fit.


Responding to someone a little bit earlier, I disagree on Amy Acker as Georgia. I always saw her as Elaine.
I see Alyson Hannigan as Georgia:


Incidentally, I see Nicolas Brenden as Billy. (Not deliberately, it just worked out that way.)



And today I found my perfect images for Mother Summer


and Mother Winter


(Helen Mirren and Anjelica Huston for those who don't recognize them)

And (last one for this post, I promise) I would definitely, definitely, definitely cast Christina Ricci as Lasciel, because she can look like:
1) The innocent Sheila


2) The Temptress


3) The Angel


and I think she could truly play all those roles as well. Not every actress has the range for that.

[Tempus Corvus]

Morgan: Stephen Lang

Clancy Brown is still my first choice, but Lang is a good backup.

Nicodemus: Robert Knepper (I'm drawing a blank on how old Nic is supposed to look)

Never seen him in anything, but he looks plenty intimidating.

Butters: Breckin Meyer

No. He looks way too smug and douche-y for butters. He could be Rudolph, though.

Kincaid: Christian Slater

I'm confused. Isn't Kincaid supposed to be a badass, and look like someone you wouldn't want to mess with? When I see Christian Slater, all I see is the idiot from Alone In The Dark. (Ok, he was good in True Romance, but that's it.)

And today I found my perfect images for Mother Summer

I completely support this casting choice, because Hellen Mirren is awesome.

And I think I've found a good Grevane.
Lance Henriksen

[NeuroHeart]

Lance Henriksen is a good choice for Grevane.

Isn't Kincaid supposed to be a badass, and look like someone you wouldn't want to mess with?

Absotively.

I think I could see either of these men as Kincaid:

(Chris Hemsworth)

(Christian Kane)


In a similar vein, Hendricks:

(Andrew Bryniarski )

[Snowleopard]

I'm sorry Hendricks doesn't wear makeup and that guy has eyeshadow on.

[NeuroHeart]

? ? ?
...Eyeshadow? I think you're seeing things. Or perhaps I was too heavy-handed when I made his eyebrows red, in which case I can dial back the color. But mostly I think you must be seeing things. At most he has a little guyliner on.
It hardly makes the man incapable of being Hendricks, in any case. Last time I checked, eyeliner washed off.

[Dina]

? He is wearing make up

[Snowleopard]

Okay not eyeshadow but guyliner??? Gimme a break.  And somebody has dialed it back I think.
But I'm not quite into his looks for Hendricks even without the guyliner.
